2. What did you do to commerate rememberance day today? Did you take a moment to reflect on those that gave thier lives for your freedom?

Well, as any good board whore would do I posted about it on gfy about ten minutes before 11am UK time and then while I was listening on the radio to the cermonies (strange listening to silence on the radio) I stopped my posting and thought about things.

I thought about no matter how much I hate the current American gov't and and no matter how uncertain I am about the current war(s) that is no reason for me to disrespect those that died in previous conflicts (or disrespect anyone actually). I thought of my Grandpa that died a couple years ago that used to freak out anytime anything about WW2 came on and ask me to turn it off and I thought about my mom's uncle who was blown up in a tank with her baby picture in his pocket in Korea.

Then I thought about my husband and how pissed off he would be about the war today and how I missed having him here to bitch about politcs.
